Why do poor people seem happier .

[Supertramp]

The OP sounds like a load of made up codswallop to me

Mae West said it best" I've been rich and I've been poor, believe me, rich is better" I would like to add, I am not rich , by any stretch. lol

The point is some people can eke out a fiver for a week and not mind sharing it with others .

If the hat fits wear it

 

Good for them, I couldnt.

 

And what hat?

The problem arises when the bubble bursts as indicated by all the experts who all say that the Western Worlds debt which is in Trillions cannot be sustained .

 

When the inevitable finally happens and all the credit is called in then the poor will be laughing all the way to the then de funk banks , I think;)

 

How do you figure that being poor will somehow help in an economic crisis?

That wasn't the point you made at all, you claimed that the poor were happier. It's demonstrably not true.

The interesting one is wealth. What is wealth exactly?

 

It is not the same as money. That simple confusion is the root cause of most of the world's troubles.

Almost all of those people hailed as "wealth creators" only make money, and in doing so devalue all the real wealth.

Its all just a state of mind - personality driven.

 

there are happy rich people - happy poor people.

 

Money makes life easier - doesn't always make it better.

I do know that having financial security gives you a feeling of safety not really happiness though,come to think of it I am no happier now than when I had nowt.Being happy with your lot in life is the clue to happiness and not many get to that stage.

If I said that Sheffield was built on seven hills you would come up with an extra one ,and that is demonstrably true:suspect:

If the playing field is levelled, then those already used to playing in the mud will have the advantage.
